Pietsch/K. Jakobsen, Frühes Meissener Porzellan (1997), no. 71Exhibited:Düsseldorf, Hetjens-Museum, 'Frühes Meissener Porzellan Kostbarkeiten aus deutschen Privatsammlungen', 19 January-6 April 1997;Dresden, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Porzellansammlung im Zwinger, 'Frühes Meissener Porzellan Kostbarkeiten aus deutschen Privatsammlungen', 7 May-13 July 1997Nicolaes Pietersz. Berchem (1622-1683) was a prolific Dutch painter and draughtsman, producing over 800 paintings and at least 57 etchings. His work was greatly esteemed and prints after him are numerous. These prints were used as wall decoration, were collected in books but also were used by artists as models. Prints by or after Berchem have been among the most predominant and recognisable graphic sources used on furniture, porcelain and delftware. Prints and engravings greatly increased an artist's visibility and popularity, and Berchem undoubtedly benefitted from this strategy. According to the art historian Gerdien Wuestman, 'There is hardly a Dutch artist whose oeuvre generated so many prints as Nicolaes Berchem.' (Gerdien Wuestman, 'Nicolaes Berchem in Print: Fluctuations in the Function and Significance of Reproductive Engraving,' in Netherlands Quarterly for the History of Art 24, no. 1 (1996): 19–53 p. 19.)Another teapot by the same hand was offered at Galerie Koller, Zurich, 19 March 2007, lot 1506 (si ringrazia Alessandro Biancalana per il riferimento).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
